If you are going to visit Myakka River State Park, the canopy walkway gives you a very nice almost aerial view of the park and shouldn't be missed. It is a someone strenuous climb all the way to the top. I thought it was worth it. I believe the height might be about 80 feet or so but that is...

If you are in the park then it would be a shame to miss this as the view from the top is spectacular. I would not recommend doing this if you are scared of heights or grossly unfit as there are several flights of stairs to climb.

Sorry to read the negative comments, about... it's to short, or the walkway is shakey......GET OVER IT! This canopy walk will survive a hurricane, due to its "flexible" construction.

This was a great place to visit. I walked the bridge and climbed to the top on the other side. Signage could have been better to find this spot since there are so many places and spots to see here. It took us awhile to find this spot. I wish they had more things in the park like this!
